Asking for help can feel like a daunting task. Maybe something specific brought you to this page—a big life decision, grief, excessive worry, or low mood. Or maybe it’s that dreaded feeling of being “stuck.” No matter what it is, you don’t have to walk that path alone. Asking for help is a beautiful form of vulnerability— the birthplace of love, joy, trust, intimacy, and courage.
I’m here to help. And that means that the “one size fits all” approach probably won’t cut it. I’ll do my best to integrate treatment approaches that best suit your needs as an individual. Whether it’s working with you to challenge core beliefs, identify strengths and resources, or build a coping skills toolkit— I want to ensure that you’re making progress towards your goals. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapist and client work together to cultivate change.
I’m very passionate about working with both young adults and adults with a variety of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and trauma. I believe that clients should feel safe, heard, and supported throughout the therapy process. My goal is to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel open to sharing their authentic self.
